Question 223799
Use the intercepts to graph the equation 


{{{x+2y=4}}}


Step 1.  Intercepts occur when one of the coordinates x or y is equal to zero.


Step 2.  Let x=0 then 2y=4 or y=2.  So we have the point (0,2).


Step 3.  Let y=0 then x=4.  So we have the other point (4,0).


Step 4.  The graph is shown below using these two points:


{{{graph(600,600, -10,10,-10,10, -x/2+2)}}}


I hope the above steps were helpful.
